i want to get drunk and tell you all the things I’m too scared to say sober

i want to hide behind my keyboard and misspelled sentences like:

i lijke yoou.

i fuckijdkg lie you.

i realy fuculing like yyiou.

and even then, I’m scared of your reaction

for even though i do not know what we are

i know what we are not

and theres nothing sweet enough to chase the thought of never being with you out of my mind

i know my place

you’ll shove me in the back closet, lock me up like the good liquor and take me out when you damn well feel

you’ll tie me around your finger

make me dance like a puppet

I told you once theres a time and place for all of that

for you telling me what to do

i don’t think i will ever be drunk enough to blur my vision into a perfect collage of you and i

i don’t think theres enough tequila in the world to tell you I’ve never felt closer to someone I’ve been so far away from

theres no amount of vodka that could force my fear of commitment and loneliness up my throat, i will chase it back down with day dreams of what could be if only i were good enough

if only time were on my side

time is a slut, you know

don’t think you’re the only one she’s fucking

i want to get drunk and tell you these things like:

HI im melodie and I’m an alcoholic.
